The Pixel 6 will receive "three years" of OS updates. But security patches are a 'five-year' mystery

Written By notebooktabletphone

I thought Pixel 6 was good, but there seems to be some disappointments.

The Google Pixel 6, announced today, will receive five years of security updates, a significant improvement from its previous three years.

This is a happy content, but OS updates are only guaranteed for 3 years until October 2024. why?

Pixel 6 is 3 years old OS updates coming, but security patches a '5-year mystery'

As you can see when the Google Pixel gets a software update, the two-year lag is kind of frustrating. That's not to say there are absolutely no new features or other updates, though.

By the way, the Pixel 5 has both OS and security updates until October 2023. Pixel 5a is until August 2024.

As far as this point is concerned, I realized that Apple's products, which can be used without being particularly conscious of OS and security updates as a user, are excellent.
